In marketing, emailing is 40 times more effective than social networks in generating leads . But how to get the email addresses of your targets?
One of the quickest and easiest ways is to use an email search tool . You can search for a company’s email address as well as a specific person’s email address .
Let’s discover 5 email scraping tools for:
- Generate leads for your business
- Contact and partner with a blog
Hunter.io
Hunter.io is one of the best known email extractors.
Hunter.io Features
Hunter.io allows you to:
- Scrape email addresses from a domain name
- Check their validity (if they are used)
- Perform group tasks (check a list of email addresses for example)
Searching for email addresses from a domain name with Hunter.io
Hunter.io searches for the emails you need from the domain name of the business website you have targeted . You simply enter the domain name in the search bar of this web scraping tool, and you will obtain the email addresses of your prospects, as well as their respective functions and names.
You can also use the Google Chrome extension and discover the email addresses linked to the website you are visiting.
For example, you can obtain the email address of the human resources manager, to contact him and offer him your training offer for his employees.
Hunter.io also has an “Email Finder” feature to find a particular prospect’s email address . But you need their name and company website.
Verification of collected email addresses
Hunter.io allows you to check if the email addresses obtained from your searches are valid , that is to say if they are active (they receive emails).
You can also check the validity of email addresses in your email list (contacts you already have), but not those with @gmail and @yahoo.
Grouped tasks
You can perform bulk tasks to :
- Search multiple email addresses at once
- Check a list of email addresses
This saves you considerable time (checking the validity of each email address in your email list one by one will take a lot of time if you already have several contacts).
Hunter.io prices
Hunter.io offers a free plan with which you can do 25 searches and 50 email address verifications per month .
You also have the choice between 4 paid packages :
- The Starter package at €49/month (500 email address searches and 1,000 checks)

LeadIn
If you have a little experience in lead generation and contact research, you have probably noticed that Linkedin is the best source of qualified leads!
That’s why Sales Navigator is a great tool (even if it’s a bit pricey).
Since Linkedin is such a good resource, why not focus on it?
This is precisely the role of Leadin. It is an all-in-one tool allowing you to obtain the professional email addresses of your prospects, then to launch your campaigns directly on the platform .
Because if all the previous tools bring you qualified leads, they do not allow you to contact them en masse to convert them! Email scraping tools are incomplete to achieve your business goals.
Find and verify your prospects’ emails
Leadin lets you search for your prospects’ email addresses on Linkedin, even if you’re not connected with them .
The email addresses provided are verified . You are thus sure that your prospects will receive your emails . Which also protects your deliverability .
Linkedin is a great choice because 80% of B2B social media leads come from Linkedin . Only 13% come from Twitter and 7% from Facebook.
Scrape leads with Linkedin events
Different types of events (meetings, workshops, seminars, etc.) are regularly organized on Linkedin. All you have to do is look for the most relevant ones: those that interest your target audience and with a lot of participants.
Once the event has been chosen (and you are registered for it), use Leadin to retrieve the list of participants, then contact them automatically.
The approach is effective because of the common interest with the prospect (when asking for a connection, specify that you participated in the event!). You can get a connection request acceptance rate of 76%, and a response rate to your messages of 35% . We did the test for you!
And after getting the email address?
Finder emails are very useful, but the email addresses obtained are only a means to achieve your goal: to sell .
To convert your prospects into customers, Leadin allows you to launch campaigns both on Linkedin and by email, automated or not.
You can connect any email provider with Leadin (Gmail, Outlook…) . Emails are customizable and you can even add custom images or GIFs.
On Linkedin, you can send personalized connection requests, messages and free InMails.
Leadin is particularly appreciated as an all-in-one marketing tool : simple, effective and inexpensive prospecting.
Our single rate is €97 per month. But you can try the platform for free for 14 days .
